🔐 Step 1 — Authentication System

from flask import Flask, request, session

app = Flask(__name__)
app.secret_key = "secret123"

@app.route("/login", methods=["POST"])
def login():
    session["user"] = request.form["username"]
    return "Logged in"

---

📚 Step 2 — Course Management

import sqlite3

def create_course(title, instructor):
    conn = sqlite3.connect("lms.db")
    c = conn.cursor()
    c.execute("INSERT INTO courses VALUES (?,?)", (title, instructor))
    conn.commit()

---

📘 Step 3 — Lessons & Content

• Video lessons (YouTube embed / upload)
• PDFs
• Text articles

📝 Step 4 — Quiz System

def evaluate_quiz(answers, correct):
    score = sum(1 for a, c in zip(answers, correct) if a == c)
    return score

---

📊 Step 5 — Progress Tracking

def update_progress(user, course, percent):
    cursor.execute(
        "UPDATE progress SET completion=? WHERE user=? AND course=?",
        (percent, user, course)
    )

---

🏆 Step 6 — Certificate Generation

from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas

def generate_certificate(name, course):
    c = canvas.Canvas("certificate.pdf")
    c.drawString(100, 500, f"{name} completed {course}")
    c.save()
